  1. Hi Norma! sure - remember all of them, living on Wilford Crescent East in the late 50's/early 60's those streets were my playground, where & when abouts did you live!

    I lived on Napoleon Terrace, Bell Street , I have a Brother Dennis and a Sister Linda,

    My Maiden name was Marriott.

    My Aunt and Uncle lived at the bottom of Bell SWtreet, on Orange Street, also name Marriott,Then I had 2 more Aunts and Uncles on Bathley Street.

    I use to spend a lot of time in the swimming baths...every Saturday with out fail.

    I now live in Australia, been out here for the past 46 years, never been back.My Sister still lives in Nottingham, at Stanton-on-the-Wolds, Havent seen her since I left.

    I live practically in the centre of Australia, not far from the Famous Alice Springs,

    in a City called Mount Isa, a mining town,I have lived here for 46 years, practically since I arrived in Australia.

  2. SCHOOL SONG

    The quite river bears its load, from busy mart to mart below the hills,

    then slowly to the far grey seas, it bears its tribute, it bears its tribute, of a thousand rills.

    The Saxons bridge it o,er with oak, beside the shallow immamorial ford,

    Then spanned anew with well hewn stone, it bore the throng of peasant, monk and Lord,

    Last arching steel replaced the stone, and learning reared her walls beside the Trent,

    where days of eager youth we passed,before us life with every chance unspent.

    As time rolls on we leave her walls, the call of commerce and of art,the call of land and sea,

    shall scatter us across the earth,but in years to come, in years to come , we will remember, remember thee.
